How we\u00a0communicate with users is changing.\u00a0 E-mail, once a favorite tool to stay in touch, is losing ground to Blogger, Facebook, Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, and other social media.\u00a0 Always ready to try newer technologies, Rodgers Library\u00a0has joined the rush to use social media.<\/p>\n
Social media are about sharing and interaction – possibilities abound.\u00a0 Social bookmarking with Delicious improves instruction and research and can enhance professional development. Students in a biology class may choose to bookmark references and share access to common reading lists, for example. For other students, Flickr offers an effective way to share photos depicting research activities with classmates.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the summer, Rodgers Library introduced its first blog, called R-Lib.\u00a0 With R-Lib, we introduce new and popular resources, as well as changes in services, to faculty and others.\u00a0 Since the blog is \u201cinteractive,\u201d faculty are welcome to post and comment on the blog.<\/p>\n
By fall, Rodgers Library was ready to roll out Twitter, another popular social media tool.\u00a0 The goal with Twitter is to reach out to undergraduate students.\u00a0 In real-time, \u201ctweets\u201d are posted on the Twitter site for the whole community to see and read.\u00a0\u00a0 Are seats open this week during late night 24\/5 hours?\u00a0 Well, yes, says a new post on the library\u2019s Twitter page.<\/p>\n
Social media are easy to access.\u00a0 Students at UA find a link to Rodgers Library\u2019s social media from the library\u2019s homepage.\u00a0 More creative students get the same content using a media feed directed to a personal laptop or smart phone.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
